Ya know, ppl say that a lot. Genius is genius. Plain and simple. It wouldn't matter what time Mark Hollis lived in, ppl would still be saying he was ahead of his time.
Such a unique voice . Live or recoded in a studio makes no difference. His voice is so filled with love and power and passion yet gentle and knowing... the sound of the human condition
That is one of the best descriptions of a wonderful voice, that I've ever read on youtube comments Steve Pearce. Really accurate. Thanks for being brilliant. x
Everything about this song and performance is perfection! The guitar rift … the rolling drum beat … and that voice gives me chills … just superb! ❤️ Mark Hollis you were a genius and a remarkable talent! Gone too soon .. RIP! 💔🖤
Anyone with me here? Wow iconic voice, meaningful, underrated and ahead of thier time music I'm still, and always will be, living and loving life with all of its everything ! I'm 60 now and watching and listening on June 25th/23 .Niagara Falls Ontario, CANADA..... You with me?. Music brings me right back to the memories of the moments, sights, sents, sounds and surroundings. What a rush, I just love it , always will.
Eva and Adam Can't believe he is no longer alive. God you took the wrong person I know he suffered but we are all sad when we watch these videos. 😢😢😢😢😢
It's rare for a singer to sound just as good - if not better - performing live as in the studio. I wish I'd been around for Talk Talk's touring years, but I'm sure glad I was brought up in a time when their music & performances have been so easy to access. Still hard to believe Mark is gone...
I’m 56, this band was popular in my high school days. Great music. Went to concerts and people were actually in the moment WATCHING the bands and not filming with their phones. I miss the 70s and 80s and 90s.
Yes they were.. 🙂 Shame you missed the moment but least you know about the band now and can look up.. It's my life track I loved as much at the time and still hv it on tape lol check it out people who haven't heard it before.. 😁
You are right. What I heard of them was the classic tune "it's my life" because it was played so much in the radio. At that time I was very young and poor to buy records. But now, I really enjoy it and I can peel their music as brand new!
Baby, life's what you make it Can't escape it Baby, yesterday's favorite Don't you hate it Baby life's what you make it Don't back date it Baby, don't try to shade it Beauty is naked Baby, life's what you make it Celebrate it Anticipate it Yesterday's faded Nothing can change it Life's what you make it
Loved Talk Talk. Huge for me ‘84-86 along w Simple Minds, Echo and the Bunnymen, The The, and the Psychedelic Furs. These guys are tight and every bit as good live as in the studio.
It's as though every prick on UA-cam comes across a band they barely know and calls them "underrated", even though everyone else on earth knows that they weren't.
@@lm5730 Everyone on earth? I’m puzzled to think that you know anyone that even owns a copy of “Color Of Spring” much less can name “that song that NO DOUBT cover”. Ease up Hoss, I’m 56yo & seen enough bands “1st” LIVE to consider myself no prick & I stand by my statement…CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED.🧐
Je ne pensais pas laisser un jour un commentaire sur le décès d'un "chanteur" mais voilà, c'est Mark Hollis. Adieu M. Hollis, vous et votre immense talent avez enchanté mes 16 ans et bien après !
Just wow. I loved this band at the time, but never saw this performance until now. This concert must be one of the greatest ever live performances - these guys were on fire. We all know that feeling when you are on top of your game, but these guys were all there on that night. Absolutely breathtaking - the energy, the musicianship - and the charisma. Could any modern band do this?
This is a great comment.. they are soooo good here. For an "intelligent" pop/rock group it's outstanding. The sound technicians also deserve gold medals.
@@oliveryt7168 I actually even really liked them but once I checked some you tube contents I got aware how good and interesting they were, after the one passed.
One of the greatest bands of all time. Timeless.
I agree with you.
Jamais entendue une voix aussi sincère.
This is a perfect example of why the 80’s had some of the best music!!! RIP Mark
This guy was tremendously ahead of his times.
They were so underated by many such a crime rip mark Hollis x
WOW
@@finley5003 Don't you mean Such A Shame?
i totally agree! He was a great genius!

jesus christ... he sounded just like in the studio version, that is so hard to get
Yes amazing ❤, and the voice is so unique
Listening in September 2024 ❤
Such a unique voice . Live or recoded in a studio makes no difference. His voice is so filled with love and power and passion yet gentle and knowing... the sound of the human condition
Mark seems to be giving us knowledge on life through his beautiful words!
You’ve got a way with words.
Great words, deep truth!
When Mark sang you knew he meant it 😍 🙏

agreed one of the best voices from the 80's I was so bummed when I heard of Mark's death in 2019
This is one of the best hauntingly, melodious songs I have ever heard, ever. Beautiful work Mark Hollis. Rest your soul, friend.❤
I love this song ❤
Still listening and still loveing it all ways ✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️🍺🍺
Rip Mark❤

Yes from France👌Mark Hollis had a wonderful voice… great band and great performance
I love them ❤
I remember hearing this as a youngster back in the 1980s feeling very positive and excited about life
Чтобы день получился, начинаю его с этой группы, заряжаюсь позитивом! Это моя жизнь! Иначе... Ни в чем нет смысла...
Who’s listening in 2023? All the way! All the way!!! RIP Mark Hollis! Miss the 80s! God bless everyone!
Coming up to 40 years ago! And still brilliant.
Me too and God first!
I still listening NOW!!!! LOVE FROM ROTTERDAM ❤️
Who's listening this still in 2024?????????
Me! I absolutely love talk talk,i could watch them live all day every day and never get tired.
Me of course 😊
I'm new to Talk Talk and can't get enough. Love this sound!
me!
love this music!

incredible point you made. his voice is his own unique instrument and we are here for it.

If you haven't heard their album The Party's Over, do so, you will enjoy it.
In the 80’s great songs dropped out of the sky like raindrops, today we are in a parched arid desert
True... Sad
Agreed
Perfectly put.
Well said. They just don't make them like this anymore. RIP Mark.
Amazing.....miss the 80s
Genius at work..light years ahead of his time
The crescendo at 1:58 as the guitar crashes through is musical perfection. Kudos to the band and sound engineer what a performance.
Awwww Mark 🙏
Such a haunting mysterious song
I didn't really take much notice of them back in the 80's but now realise what I missed, what a talented band.
Yes they were.. 🙂 Shame you missed the moment but least you know about the band now and can look up.. It's my life track I loved as much at the time and still hv it on tape lol check it out people who haven't heard it before.. 😁
Sorry the trac is called... Its my life.. 🙂 For those who don't know..

That incredible piano stab is unreal. Welcome to life
Me, too. I have memories of this.
When crowds just listened and no filming phones and talked with others..
2024.... what a progress
*John Turnbull always makes his parts great!*
Look kids... real musicians, playing real instruments, playing real songs!
And no mobile phones recording the live act. Just talent and people relishing the talent. Rip Mark. Genius gone but never forgotten 💔
Very true Mark was such a great talent. RIP Mark
And in Montreux!
pure genius
Thank you for such ethereal, timeless masterpieces
As timeless as they come. A classic!
Can't get enough!❤
Still listening to this in 2021 - what a great jam. They sound really great live...RIP Mark Hollis
still listening in 2022)))))))))))))
Why are all the great ones gone?! 😢
@@GillyCladich Because time is undefeated...
@@GillyCladich no no no. All the great ones will live forever with songs)))
yes that's what i thought it's rare for bands to pull it off live
Never ages .
Those guitar riffs are sweet.
what an unique voice presence❤
Man, his voice - Beautiful.
San Carlos, Ca. 1986. Great Time with Tony ❤
J'avais 14 ans en 1984 quand such a shame it's my life etc... Sont sortis aujourd'hui a 53 ans j'écoute toujours comme si ça venait de sortir.
This guy liked to write about Life a lot.
What a perfect idea to play the bassline on the piano. Wonderful live version of a timeless classic ❤
That Voice. Always comes through.
RIP Mark Hollis. This is stuff of legend.
Sad, just seen this now, his passing
Love and forever grateful for the music he and talk talk brought into my life
@Degree7 Life is eternal, we just shed these bodies we wear. Our meatsuits die we don't.
"To me the ultimate ambition is to make music that doesn't have a use by date, that goes beyond your own time." - Mark Hollis

September 2024 ❤
Lee Harris is on fire!!! He bangs on the drums like there is no tomorrow!
All the band in it, actually. This is insanely good.
He's crazy good.
Such a deep groove always.
Completely mesmerizing. Every single time.
Great song during good times
I still listen this classic thank guys great song ❤😂❤😂
Baby, life's what you make it
Can't escape it
Baby, yesterday's favorite
Don't you hate it
Baby life's what you make it
Don't back date it
Baby, don't try to shade it
Beauty is naked
Baby, life's what you make it
Celebrate it
Anticipate it
Yesterday's faded
Nothing can change it
Life's what you make it
Great epitaph and exit song for my funeral I guess! Mark Hollis RIP. I wish I had seen them in concert in the 80s.

Hollis RIP you genius
Beam me back to when there was music like this, now there's just nothing, a Desert!
Love Talk Talk always! I'm groovin' with Paul (bassist) and Lee (drums) in perfect sinc. They're so great and it's fun to watch them move.
ce live est à graver d'une pierre blanche. ce groupe est unique et le restera dans ma mémoire.
Le concert complet a été supprimé.
Remember this walking around with a Sony Walkman...what an awesome experience it was and Talk Talk still is.
I miss Mark and his unmistakable voice....
RIP MARK HOLLIS 🙏❤️
Mark Hollis
RIP dude
Didn't realise what a great voice he had!
One word brilliant.
That voice...r.i.p. Mark Hollis, thanks for the music!
Cindy Barg , yes
Super song from a superb album!
1 of the best live performances I've ever seen in my life from any band.. Everybody gave 10/10 such a incredible, emotional song. I so miss the 80s
My life anthem.. since I first heard this song back in 1986. Perfection.
epic performance
One of few things about the eightys i saved
These Talk Talk Montreux live versions are masterpieces of songs which are masterpieces in their own right , RIP Mark and thank you for great music .
masterpiece com, mate.
Why oh why was this band sooo underrated???
Every word. This one is permanently at the top of my library
Such a beautiful music ! Thanks to Marc and musiciens.
This song is still total 🔥 in 2023 - RIP Mark Hollis
Fantastico pezzo. Grandi Talk Talk.
No like today. Lucky us living that time of music
masterpiece
What a voice. A timeless tune.
Miss those days miss Mark Hollis in 2024 😢❤ amazing concert
Can’t believe Mark has passed...it seems like only yesterday he was young. 64 is way too soon for anyone
Perfection.
Criminally underrated band. One of the best live bands…EVER! Not to mention giving the world some of the finest LP’s ever made.
It's as though every prick on UA-cam comes across a band they barely know and calls them "underrated", even though everyone else on earth knows that they weren't.

I stand by mine "hoss"
No there not underrated there a Legends !
Still listening in 2024 , I'm in awe of their talent , my youth is slipping away ....they are timeless
how many time i've been in Montreux!?? one of the best place to enjoy.... but Talk Talk is unforgetable.!
MASTER PIECE.
A VERY UNDERRATED BAND
Okay, wow! and this is 2022!

yorkschris answer is no !
You could take a look to "In the basement" of Radiohead. A live masterpiece
This is a great comment.. they are soooo good here. For an "intelligent" pop/rock group it's outstanding. The sound technicians also deserve gold medals.
Spot on. Never thought this song would translate so well to a live performance.
Excellent observation. Cheers
RIP...Another legend has left us.
🙏 It is, indeed ♥️
Yes.xx
@@susanlansdell863 ✨️💞✨️
I could watch Lee Harris play those drums all day long...Just look at his full body rythm!
right? AMAZING
@Per Madsen - yes mate! I've been thinking it about Lee since my teenage years 😍
That whole band gave it all in their live performances. So great!
Totally mesmerising. His timing, technique, physique all moving with complete perfection.
Jazz festival but they were a pure band....however here their performances were ver good here
After 35 years, this song (and this specific version @ Montreaux with MEAN electric guitar) still gives me goose bumps...so relatable. RIP Mark.
Me too. I always liked Talk talk, but only got a fan once Mark passed. I'm stupid.
@@antonmk1244 you liked "Talk Talk"... doesn't that make you a fan? (let's forget "fan == fanatic")

Rest In Peace, Mark!
